Patrick Johnson, managing director of NHS Supply Chain, is set to speak at the Medilink Yorkshire and Humber Innovation Day and Healthcare Business Awards on 19 April.
The event, to be held at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, will also see healthcare technology companies from Yorkshire and Humber (Y&H) have their achievements recognised.
Medilink Y&H has invited health technology companies from Yorkshire and Humber to nominate themselves for the five award categories: Innovation Award, Export Achievement Award, Start-up Award, Growth in Sector Award, Partnership with the NHS Award, and to nominate others for the Beacon Award for Outstanding Contribution to Healthcare.
Attendees will have the opportunity to see first hand the region’s contribution to health technology, including an innovation zone showcasing companies’ products short-listed for the awards, and a health technology zone featuring wide ranging technology with application in healthcare.
The event winners will automatically be shortlisted for the Medilink UK national medical technology healthcare awards.
